The Delightfully Fancy Schmancy Aspen

We meandered through Aspen. We hear that the elite summer in Aspen. We spent our luxurious hours there in the local laundry Mat which is anything but luxurious. Dripping sweat in chairs that looked like they had never been clean - but at the end of it all we had clean cloths so all was well. We decided while we were there we should check it out and see what the buzz is all about. Gas was over five dollars a gallon so we got some over priced gas and walked around downtown. It was way cute. The entire town was pedestrian and biker friendly. the streets were lined with stores like Dior and Burberry. Things I would love to look at but know I can not buy. If I have enough money Aspen would definitely be a place I would want to spend some time in. Brad thinks it is a place Andy and Jessica would dig. After dinner we hit the road. We needed to drive to Grand Junction in order to camp at the river put in site. We were to spend the next three days on the Gunnison River in a canoe. It was one of the first times on the trip that we have driven at night. It was strange to have not driven at night in a month - At this point we were one day shy of having been on the road for a full month which is kind of crazy.
